So the rain was back but that didn’t dampen the town’s Carnival spirits. With plenty of things to do in town before the procession began - a tour of The Shire Hall, entry to Monnow Bridge Tower and a drumming workshop - people were out bright and early and stayed to show their support for the brilliant floats, colourful walkers and vehicles in the Carnival Processions. Samba Galez brought a glimpse of Calypso sun and got everyone's feet a-tapping with their rumba francessa rhythms and dancing.
